Example Usage

To use the extra fields in an extension, see the example below. For more information and examples, see the :ref:`integrations-ref` section.

call = load_extension('http_notify.py')
if call:
    url = 'http://default.url' # <url for post data>

    # possibly extract the URL from extra fields
    call = load_extension('extra_fields.py')
    if call:
        repo_extra_fields = call(**kwargs)
        # now update if we have extra fields, they have precedence
        # this way users can store any configuration inside the database per
        # repo
        for key, data in repo_extra_fields.items():
            kwargs[key] = data['field_value']

    # an endpoint url data will be sent to, fetched from extra fields
    # if exists, or fallback to default
    kwargs['URL'] = kwargs.pop('webhook_url', None) or url

    # fetch pushed commits, from commit_ids list
    call = load_extension('extract_commits.py')
    extracted_commits = {}
    if call:
        extracted_commits = call(**kwargs)
        # store the commits for the next call chain
    kwargs['COMMITS'] = extracted_commits

    # set additional keys and values to be sent via POST to given URL
    kwargs['caller_type'] = 'rhodecode'
    kwargs['date'] = time.time() # import time before
    call(**kwargs)
